Zach began his role as a Research Analyst at Purple in June 2022, focusing on quantitative and qualitative research methods, as well as data storytelling, to help advance campaign strategies for leading clients. Zach is passionate about learning new technologies that not only help create insights but also automate redundant tasks/processes to save time for client teams. Prior to Purple, Zach worked as an Intern/Extern at Kroll LCC, where he conducted due diligence research to help mitigate business and geopolitical risks for clients. Zach holds an M.A. in Political Science from Loyola University Chicago. Along with quantitative research, Zach enjoys volunteering as an Urban River Ranger, where he picks up trash via kayaking, combating river pollution one paddle at a time. He is also a beginner rock climber and finds pleasure in reading, the outdoors and coding.

“Purple is extraordinarily collaborative, which creates a great opportunity to both learn from peers and gain exposure to a multitude of projects.”

“Data is my canvas and insights are my brushstrokes. At Purple, I hope to create a clear picture of success, or at least change, for our clients through research and new technologies.”

“In a world of constant change, my passion is learning. I thrive on mastering new skills, and Purple is excellent at providing the tools and guidance to make the most of those skills.”
